Volume 3 Takeoff Chapter 436: Sisters of Thorn
While thinking in his mind, Levi, Sally and Sefa jointly released triple fireball spell, opening a path of flames among the undead.
At this time, General Gu Mu gave an order and all nearby troops launched a fierce attack to distract the enemy's attention.
Another ancient tomb general took the lead in charging with several priests, technicians, and a few bronze lion-headed guards of the gods who had been reluctant to use them before.
It's no wonder that these big guys have outstanding appearance, all bronze in color, and look very majestic under the reflection of the sun. Their fighting power is also extraordinary, and they are good at charging.
Levi, Elegy and others followed closely behind, and then a hero chosen by the Wood Elf God also followed.
The name of this wood elf is very long and very distinctive: Nato has three heads and six arms, but you only have one head and two arms.
After introducing himself, he quickly added: "You can call me Natuo or Nezha."
He had to add this because those mean-spirited guys used to call him by the last two words...
His original intention was to tease others, but now not only did the natives look at him as if he were a lunatic, everyone else also took the opportunity to make fun of him, which made him speechless.
Elegy, Cindy and the others were still a little confused. They just felt that it didn't sound like a name at all, but more like a weird word.
But Levi chuckled secretly. He brought this upon himself and there was nothing to sympathize with him.
However, the other party seemed to have never heard of his name, which surprised him a little. He thought he was a well-known figure.
Not wanting to go deeper into this topic, Natuo just snorted and said in a slightly arrogant tone: "Listen to my instructions later. Don't run around when you go in. It's not easy for a newcomer to gather some troops, especially when there are so many beautiful girls in your team."
When recruiting troops, many newcomers first look at appearance, and then attributes and skills.
But in fact, there are not many that are both good-looking and strong, so how many of them can be picked up by newcomers?
Those natives will also take the initiative to recruit all kinds of outstanding talents. With their powerful force and wealth, it is difficult for the chosen heroes to compete with them.
Moreover, it is foreseeable that this situation is unlikely to change much in the foreseeable future, because there are often gods behind those powerful forces.
This even caused many people to complain on the forums, saying that their arrival did not seem to be to enjoy the game, but rather more like a special "catfish effect" to stimulate the natives of this world.
Yes, they are the catfish.
As for those angels, they did look intimidating, but he already knew that in this game, the status of most angels was not that good, because their strength varied.
It is very common for low- and middle-level angels to suffer tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of casualties in a war against demons or devils.
Even many mid- and high-level priests have spells to summon angels.
They are servants of the gods as well as servants of the priests.
Seeing that he seemed to have misunderstood something, Levi had no intention of explaining because there was no need at all.
His original intention was just to find a guide who was familiar with the interior of the pyramid. The Tomb General mentioned above was undoubtedly more suitable than Natuo.
Levi is often particularly tolerant towards people who are of no use to him.
Because if necessary, he can abandon them at will, or even kill them. I hope this Natuo won't be so tactless.
Sefa and Sonia next to them looked at each other and couldn't help but chuckle. Were they mistaken for vases?
Elegy and Cindy also laughed and treated it as a joke. In fact, they didn't care about it at all.
Whether the other party misunderstood or not, what did it have to do with them? It was better to hold back a little and play the scene in front of them well.
Levi has just said that as long as they enter the pyramid, they will no longer need to suppress their true strength.
Levi was just watching while looking at Natuo's troops. It must be said that even in his opinion, this was indeed an elite force.
The many types of soldiers in Tomb Kings are either highly defensive but relatively bulky constructs, or mummies and skeletons that are fragile and not particularly flexible.
In comparison, although many types of Wood Elves' soldiers do not have very good defense, their agility is really good.
No matter if it was the Eternal Guardian wielding a spear or the Wild Forest Ranger wielding a two-handed sword, each of them jumped up and down, extremely agile.
If they are war dancers who use long swords or short swords, they will be even stronger.
It is said that all war dancers believe in the shadow dancer of weaker power - Loik, who usually leads the dancers during festivals or celebrations.
Once in battle, they leap and spin among the enemy, gracefully avoiding their attacks, and then quickly take their lives, weaving a dance of death.
To some extent, it is very similar to the graceful dance of elegy, and what they wear are very cool, except for three key points, their long white legs and half of their backs are exposed.
So even though they were carrying out killing work, in Levi's opinion, their movements were still pleasing to the eye.
This was a special breakout battle with very limited space. If it were in an ordinary open plain, or in the forest where they are best at fighting, their performance would definitely be more exaggerated.
Among all the races in the main world, wood elves can be said to be the best at guerrilla warfare and kite warfare, without a doubt.
However, in this battle, he did not see how many wood elf archers appeared. He did not know whether the other side did not recruit them or they had all died in the previous battle.
In addition, Natuo has some deer cavalry as guards. One type is the wild cavalry, which is targeted at the high elf silver-helmeted knights. They are obviously weaker in defense, but their movement and attack speeds are faster.
The other type is the 5th-level Giant Stag Knight. As the name suggests, they are giant war deer that are more than one size larger than their ordinary counterparts. An ordinary person's head is often not even as high as their back.
Because their backs are so wide, their saddles and other items have to be specially made.
Their antlers are also very special. Not only are they extremely large, but they also sparkle with a metallic luster. Each fork is like a dagger. Just by looking at them, you can tell that their charging power will be extremely terrifying.
At the same time, they also have controllable rage ability. When their health exceeds half, their attack power, critical hit rate, movement speed, etc. will be slightly enhanced.
In the eyes of many wood elves, the Great Stag is more valuable than the Unicorn.
The Giant Stag Knight also inherited the characteristics of the Wood Elves' low defense and high speed. Its counterpart is the Dragon Prince Cavalry, but its actual combat power is significantly stronger by several times.
They are also one of the few powerful knights who can compete with the Terror Knight.
However, it is hard to say what the specific winning rate is, because it depends purely on luck.
Once the Terror Knight triggers a critical hit, the winning rate of the cavalry of the same level will approach zero. If the curse is triggered, it will be difficult for the weakened opponent to gain an advantage against the Terror Knight.
But if there is no critical hit, the Stag Knight can win by virtue of his high mobility.
So ever since he knew of their existence, Levi has been thinking about getting some of this kind of cavalry, but unfortunately there were no large wood elf forces near the colony before.
But since I have come here unexpectedly this time, if I have the chance, I must go to the Orion Camp in the south to take a look. It is only about a hundred miles away, so it is not very far.
As for Natuo's adjutant, he is a Thorn Sister. This special profession is a very good all-rounder.
Not only can it act as a cavalryman and fight with spears and javelins, it can also use some druidic spells and a special, rechargeable deep forest staff to act as a magic archer.
Compared to professions like Cindy, Elegy, and Donna, which have communicated directly with God, they may not seem very strong, but if compared with ordinary professions, they will seem very outrageous.
At the same time, their status among the Wood Elves is somewhat similar to that of the Sisters of Avalon among the High Elves. They basically only serve as guards for the top members, such as the Queen's maids, etc.
And they are clearly superior to the latter in one respect.
That is, as long as the bodies and souls are not completely destroyed or restrained, after they die in battle, their bodies are buried in the magical forest of the wood elves, and they will be resurrected after several months to years.
Yes, without any ceremony or cost, they received treatment that almost all races envied and hated.
It is said that this is the mercy of Aisha, the mother of all things, who has been missing for a long time.
It is precisely because this kind of mercy has always existed, and Ariel, the queen of the wood elves and also Elsha's chosen one, has always been able to gain strength from Elsha, so many wood elves and high elves firmly believe that Elsha will return again one day.
By that time, they will definitely become even stronger.
This is a bit off topic, but no matter what, as a wood elf, Natuo was able to come and serve the Tomb Kings, so he is actually very smart.
Because the Wood Elves have a more obvious shortcoming, which is the lack of cannon fodder troops.
Their cannon fodder troops are basically composed of various tree spirits, tree men, and beasts in the forest.
But after leaving the forest, their combat effectiveness will decline to varying degrees.
Tomb Raiders is different. They have as many cannon fodder troops as they want.
Due to this level of battle, Levi doesn't need to concentrate too much, so he has the mind to think so much.
But when she noticed that he looked a little absent-minded and looked at where his eyes were, Wange couldn't help but laugh. Could it be that he liked people who wore so little?
Even though Levi hardly used any strength, the Tomb General and the wood elves such as Natuo were still quite powerful, so they successfully broke out of the siege and ran straight towards the direction of the pyramid.
But looking at the undead behind him, Levi felt something was wrong.
Why did the undead suddenly give up the pursuit after they succeeded in breaking through? They still had so many black knights and dire wolves as mobile forces.
Do they just not care at all, or will there be other beings that will continue to complete this job for them?
When this concern arose, he couldn't help but ask his subordinates to be more careful.
After all, Arkhan is an old legendary warrior. Although there are many undead on the battlefield now, there are not many of them even at level 5, which does not match his past reputation.
In addition to the attackers in the pyramids, there may be some enemies hiding in the dark sky.
But General Gu Mu and Na Tuo had never thought of this. They were just happy that their plan had succeeded.
The Tomb General ordered the troops to slow down, and the priests continued to summon to serve as cannon fodder, while the technicians also carried out emergency repairs on the damaged Death Guards.
Natuo and his Thorn Sisters split their troops into two groups and first took the troops to conduct reconnaissance around the pyramid.
He wanted to confirm whether there were any other hidden enemies besides the undead who were fighting with their main force and had already entered the pyramid.
Otherwise, if they rashly broke into the pyramid, wouldn't they be caught in a trap?
Even though they are the guards here, the pyramid is a holy place prepared for gods and kings, and they will not enter at will.
There were only some guards and magic traps left over from when it was first built, but no army.
Now that Arkhan has sneaked in first, if they go in next, they will probably have to face a large number of undead.
Then, before they had walked far, Levi watched three teams of bloodthirsty sky demons fly out of the black mist. The wood elves, whom he had just secretly praised, struggled a little and were instantly wiped out.
Even if Natuo has decent equipment and is a warrior, he can only resist a few more attacks.
The strength of these bloodthirsty sky demons was obviously much stronger than those he had seen before. He didn't know whether it was because there were many elites among them, or because Arkhan gave them certain bonuses, or both.
Although the Wood Elves are very agile and adept at kite tactics, they are not without weaknesses. When ground forces face high-speed air forces, they will inevitably become very passive.
In other words, more than 90% of the ground forces will become passive in this situation, and they will have the advantage because they are in a dominant position.
However, under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that the native Wood Elves would lose air superiority.
Not only because of their powerful and accurate rain of arrows, which can often easily shoot down various flying enemies, but also because their own flying troops are also very good.
Although Giant Eagles are relatively weak among flying troops of the same level, the Wood Elves are very good at raising them. Once the number increases, they can completely make up for the disadvantage in quality.
Next is the famous War Eagle Knight.
If a flying soldier charges at you, it may be relatively easy to deal with, but if the opponent just keeps shooting arrows down, it will be very troublesome.
It just so happens that the Wood Elves are very good at this trick. Among them, the famous legendary twin Wood Elves, the Twilight Sisters - Nestra and Alohan, basically only led this kind of troops, and yet they made a great name for themselves.
According to the Barto knights who had the good fortune to watch and not be killed by mistake, with their powerful bonus, the arrows of the wood elf archers did not seem to be shot from bows, but rather like being hit from crossbows.
The last one is of course the forest dragon. This special dragon trained by wood elves is far inferior to the real dragons in strength and is basically only at level 6 at most.
But they look like small-sized green dragons, with the same abilities as dragon might, acid spitting, and corrosive dragon breath.
The most important thing is that the number of forest dragons is obviously greater than that of ordinary dragons.
The combination of so many factors makes the wood elves appear very strong on most battlefields.
Of course, that refers to the regular army of the Wood Elves, not the chosen heroes.
Their current strength is still limited, and they are unable to form a regular army of wood elves, so after encountering such a surprise attack, they are bound to suffer heavy losses.
What surprised Levi a little was that the Thorn Sister managed to escape the enemy's entanglement with the help of other companions.
And he did not forget to counterattack the enemy, shooting continuously with his unique deep forest staff and thorn spear.
Unfortunately, her mount had also been killed. By the time those bloodthirsty sky ghosts had some time to spare, she would have only one fate, a despairing death.
Seeing the other party struggling desperately, Cindy, Sefa and others felt a little bit reluctant.
The corners of Maltis' mouth slightly raised: "Levi, if she becomes a death elf, do you think she will be an excellent warrior?"
Levi smiled slightly. He was now sure that some changes had indeed taken place in Martis. She was becoming more and more like a living person, which was definitely not a bad thing.
He then turned to look at the Tomb General who hadn't made any move: "Are we just going to watch?"
"All things will eventually die and be judged by the great Osiris. This is her destiny."
After saying this, the Tomb General not only did not intend to interfere, but also signaled the Tomb Technicians to speed up.
Even if the enemy has an ambush, what can they do? They still have to enter the pyramid!
Levi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. After following Khalida for a while, he had forgotten that, apart from her, the other Tomb Kings were never friendly to the living...
Perhaps there was also jealousy at work. After all, except for Khalida, the others were all just skeletons and mummies, and it was always a bit unpleasant to see living things.
But the other party had just fought alongside him, and it was not in his character to just stand there and watch.
The other wood elves died too quickly, so that's fine, but since this girl can still be saved, let's give it a try.
Osiris, whom the Tomb Kings believe in, has no control over the elves!
So he simply waved his hand, signaling Cindy and others who were also already impatient to take action.
Then, with the flash of light, he also activated the power of the Legion's battle flag and summoned many celestial creatures. Some of them were used to delay those bloodthirsty sky ghosts, but more of them were the bear-headed gods.
As soon as they appeared, before they could even see who the enemy was, they had already started preparing magic to immobilize the monster.
Because every time Levi summoned them, he almost only needed them to use this trick!
While being immobilized, Sefa and Sally's fireballs flew over at the right time, and Sonia drew her bow and shot several arrows in succession.
After losing the legendary whip, she has recently been trying to use various weapons, trying to find a better alternative. Although it has not been determined yet, she has considerable talent for bows and swords.
Then Cindy also rushed over with the celestial creatures, but Maltis was even faster than them, and the speed battle flag provided her with strong mobility.
Many fierce women worked together and without much effort, they easily killed all the enemies in no time and saved the Thorn Sisters who were already seriously injured.
Then he cast a few spells, and not only did the opponent immediately revive with full health, but his combat power also suddenly increased significantly.
Now the looks of the generals, priests and technicians in the ancient tomb all changed when they looked at Levi.
You are so powerful, why did you pretend to be a weakling when you were breaking through just now?
If they had exerted such strength earlier, perhaps they would not have had to think about breaking through, but could have simply launched a large-scale counterattack!
However, they did not have much suspicion and vigilance, but were full of doubts and confusion, because Levi's camp and his profession could provide them with enough trust.
Only a being of pure goodness can change his profession to a Celestial Mystic. Maybe he has certain difficulties?
Levi smiled slightly: "I just don't want to have any conflicts or contradictions with other God-chosen heroes."
General Gu Tomb immediately understood that these God-chosen heroes, in addition to their extremely astonishing growth speed, also possessed many shortcomings, and they were particularly unwilling to see others doing better than them.
If Levi had shown extremely powerful strength at the beginning, they might have united to exclude him and not let him join the operation at all.
But now this is a great thing for our side. It is still not possible to fight against Arkhan, but they will definitely be able to detect more intelligence!
Similarly, the Thorn Sisters on the other side also had very complicated expressions.
If the other party had just demonstrated such powerful strength, the reconnaissance mission might not have been arranged so hastily.
Her companions' sacrifice might not have been so worthless.
But her reason told her that since they were not related, even if the other party was very strong, she had no obligation to do so.
What's more, it was the other party who saved his life and avenged his dead companions.
No, she must repay blood with blood. She must personally collect the debts owed to her companions!
But after looking at Levi for a few times, the Thorn Sisters suddenly became a little doubtful: "Are you Levi from Thorn Town?"
Levi was also a little surprised: "Do you know me?"
Sister Thorn's expression suddenly changed again: "I heard from my sister that you once fought against the filthy beastmen together in the Filth Pit and other places, and some of your kind joined your team."
Levi nodded: "Yes, they are still here now, and have grown to a certain extent."
Following Donna, the archer troops were very comfortable most of the time. All they had to do was shoot arrows. Plus, he frequently led them to participate in battles of various scales, so their growth rate couldn't be slowed down.
Sister Thorn gritted her teeth, and finally made a move that surprised Levi. She touched her chest with one hand and bowed deeply to Levi: "In the name of the Mother of All Things - Aisha, Sister Thorn - Kerillian, is willing to fight for you!"
Levi was very surprised and he immediately realized that he might have misjudged something.
The Thorn Sisters in front of him might not be Natuo's real subordinates. The two parties might have a temporary employment relationship, or Natuo might not have completed the entire recruitment task.
Sure enough, after Levi readily accepted her, Kerillian gave her a brief description of what happened.
Just as he guessed, Natuo was indeed recruiting Kerillian and had completed most of the task, but with his death and the death of other Wood Elf troops, the mission naturally failed.
So Kerillian became free again. She made this decision because she had heard of Levi's reputation before and because of his life-saving grace.
As for the recruitment mission, it was originally a test for those with weaker strength, but for the powerful Levi, there was no need for it at all.
Levi immediately looked at the opponent's panel. Kerillian is currently level 7. Her skills are no different from those rumored by the outside world. She is a typical all-rounder, and she is not weak in all directions.
The unique skill - Aisha's Blessing, also clearly states that if her body and soul are not completely destroyed or restrained, she can be resurrected by burying her in any magical forest of the Wood Elves.
This type of resurrection has no limit on the number of times and no cooldown time. If you die multiple times in a short period of time, the time required may be longer.
But if she could possess the divinity of an elf, the resurrection time would be shortened.
According to Levi's understanding, elves with divinity will definitely have a higher priority in Aisha's eyes.
A minimum of several months seemed too long to Levi, but to the indigenous people, it was a magical skill.
Next is the condensed thorn javelin, which can be used for throwing or as a spear.
In terms of attributes, she majors in agility, followed by strength and intelligence, and is as fragile as a thief.
Seeing that except for a rechargeable blue-quality Deep Forest Staff that could release green magic missiles, the rest of her items were rubbish, Levi did not hesitate and directly took out a bunch of equipment and supplies from his space ring and handed them to her.
It also includes two epic items: the Iron Watch Watchstone and the Iron Watch Chalice.
The dwarf gave him three sets of Iron Watch Evil in total, one set each for Cindy and Bayoru. The rest were not used by anyone for the time being, so he gave them to her first.
Kerillian's face was suddenly filled with surprise. She had originally wanted to repay the other party for saving her life, and hoped to avenge her fellow tribesmen who had just died in battle under his command, but she didn't expect the other party to be so generous!
Sefa, Sally, Cindy and others also came over and said some words of welcome to her. They all had some good feelings towards this brave wood elf.
At this time, the general of the Tomb Sweep who had watched the whole process from beginning to end also spoke up: "Okay, Levi, it's time for us to enter the pyramid!"
